| SUB TO MATCH WITH QUAD 22L'S I agree with the last post. Try to find a used REL or a used pair of Kinergetics subs. Those are awsome and because they are out of buisness the price has dropped enough that you may hit your budget. I don't recomend the B&W, it isn't fast eno... | |
| Marantz SR8500 Reception Most newer main stream receivers have lousy tuners these days. I am a Marantz dealer but we also sell high end and the best tuners are still old ones from the 60's. The best thing is to get a real FM antenna in your attic or on your roof. This is ... | |
| Used pre amp advice That is super tough. Anything with a good phone even 10 years old will be a lot more. You may be unrealistic but also consider an older and nicer pre-amp without phono and strap on a used Parasound PH-100 phono stage which you can find for around ... | |
| Preamp DAC option. Everything depends on how it sounds with the other coponents in your system including cables. It will help everyone here if you list everything else.The Bryston tends to be dry sounding so it is a good match with a system that is dull or closed in... | |
| simple HDTV question. If you are talking about from your dish to the SAT receiver the best HD coax I have used is the Audioquest RG-6 3. 90% sheilded and silver conductor and sheild. As for after the box, like the other post says, it depends on the TV and box. If you a... | |
| Experience with Rotel RA 1062 integrated... Hello again,If you go with a sub there are only 2 to consider. Find a used Kinergetics, (stereo tower versions) or a REL. (REL brand new at full retail is still a steal.) | |
| Experience with Rotel RA 1062 integrated... A very good amp with a little extra bottum end and top end. You may like this if you feel the Quads are lacking in this area. (which they are but who cares when you hear the mid range.) I would also look at a comperably prices Arcam that would mak... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs Primare I30 The Plinius 8200 is better but not by a lot. I am a dealer for both and the highs are a little dry on the Primare. Both sound way more powerful than they should and in fact both sound more powerful than a 250 watt Krell. (sound better too.) | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs KAV-2250+280p If you don't mind my opinion I would look at a different amp all together for the B&W's. I am a B&W dealer and Krell is not a good match. It will sound super detailed but very harsh and make your ears hurt after an hour. The following amps... | |
| need help programming b&k remote for the avr 507 r Did you try Remote Central.com? B&K tech support is awsome as well. You can download IR codes of their site. | |
| JVC RX-202b - USB digital amp section receiver. I am sorry if you take this in a different tone than I mean it but I thought the JVC was horrible and unreliable. But I can't stand how compressed music sounds on a computer either so I have to assume you have not had a lot of exposure to how good... | |
| TT and Cart for new phono stage I can't be a lot of help but I will say that higher output is better unless you are in the mega buck pre-amps. $8000 and up for great brands and $15,000 and up for bad brands. (yupee audio) Your dealer sounds like he knows what sounds good so I wo... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers They sound very good but there are several that sound as good just different. My only opinion is they tend to be unreliable and the owner is unreliable. One or the other is normal but to have 2 strikes against them scares me. | |
| Sony CDP 559 ES or Marantz CD63 KI? I don't think it is worth it except for reliability. One of the biggest steels would be to find an older but way ahead of it's time and grossly under rated Kinergetics KCD-40. This 12 year old design sold for $2200 and was way under rated and held... | |
| Does Conrad Johnson 17LS match Threshold T400? The match is good with both having 1 or 2 major shortcommings but each helping those short commings. Everything has to do with value. If something sounds twice as good for 4 times the price it no longer sounds good. Please post what price range th... |
